Use this skill when managing production incidents, designing on-call rotations, writing runbooks, conducting post-mortems, setting up status pages, or running war rooms. Triggers on incident response, incident commander, on-call schedule, pager escalation, runbook authoring, post-incident review, blameless retro, status page updates, war room coordination, severity classification, and any task requiring structured incident lifecycle management.
Run blameless post-mortems & retrospectives and produce a Post-mortems & Retrospectives Pack (brief + agenda, facts/timeline, contributing factors + root causes, decisions + action tracker, kill criteria, learning dissemination plan). Use for postmortem, post-mortem, retrospective, retro, after action review, lessons learned. Category: Leadership.
Generate LESSONS.md retrospective files that capture institutional knowledge, especially failures. Use when closing out journalism projects, investigations, events, or publications. Includes templates for research projects, event post-mortems, editorial tools, and publications.
Handle production incidents with urgency. Use when production issues occur for debugging, fixes, and post-mortems.
Use when investigating and documenting a production incident, outage, data corruption event, or post-mortem — guides evidence collection during the investigation AND produces a rich, reproducible Root Cause Analysis report. Trigger on phrases like "write an RCA", "post-mortem for X", "document this incident", "what went wrong with...", "the pipeline broke yesterday, help me investigate", or any time the user is debugging a recently-resolved incident and wants a writeup. Also use proactively when the user finishes resolving an incident in-session and the resolution context is fresh — offer to capture it as an RCA before details fade.
Production incident response automation. Reads logs, checks recent deploys, identifies root cause, suggests fixes, drafts incident comms, creates post-mortem templates. Severity classification (SEV1-4), escalation paths, status page updates. Generates incident-report.md with timeline, root cause, impact assessment, remediation steps, and prevention measures.
Orchestrator workflow for running ZeroContext Lab (ZCL) attempts/suites with deterministic artifacts, trace-backed evidence, and fast post-mortems (shim support for "agent only types tool name").
Use this skill when writing, reviewing, or improving internal engineering documents - RFCs, design docs, post-mortems, runbooks, and knowledge base articles. Triggers on drafting a design proposal, writing an RFC, creating a post-mortem after an incident, building an operational runbook, organizing team knowledge, or improving existing documentation for clarity and completeness.
Run blameless post-mortems and retrospectives: Pack with brief, timeline, contributing factors, root causes, action tracker, kill criteria, dissemination plan. Use for postmortem, retro, after-action review, lessons learned. NOT for non-review meetings (use running-effective-meetings), shipping process design (use shipping-products), engineering culture (use engineering-culture), or future risk planning (use planning-under-uncertainty). Category: Leadership.
Systematic debugging workflow — reproduce, investigate, hypothesize, fix, and prevent. Covers root cause analysis, bug category strategies, evidence-based diagnosis, and post-mortem documentation.
Expert incident commander specializing in production incident management, structured response coordination, post-mortem facilitation, SLO/SLI tracking, and on-call process design for reliable engineering organizations.
8-step disciplined bug-fix protocol that treats every production bug as two failures — the code defect itself and the testing system that allowed it through. Use when fixing a production bug, investigating a regression, writing a post-mortem, or auditing a missed defect. Triggers on "fix this bug", "production bug", "regression test", "post-mortem", "test gap", "why did the tests miss this".
